Semtech’s RClamp0504FBTCT is an RClamp TVS diode that is designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage and latch-up due to a transient surge event. This TVS offers desirable characteristics for board level protection, including fast response time, low operating voltage, low clamping voltage, and no device degradation. This product also features extremely good ESD and EOS protection characteristics highlighted by low dynamic resistance and high surge capability. Data (I/O) lines are protected from EOS surge events as high as 14 A. Power buses might be subjected to even harsher EOS events but the TVS connection at pin 5 allows protection of V_BUS lines to 28 A.

The RClamp0504FBTCT comes in a 6-pin, SC-70 6L package. The combination of small size, low capacitance, and high ESD and EOS surge capability make it ideal for use in applications such as USB 2.0, multimedia cards, and video interfaces.
